Of the vid itself, bad tech all round, mic noise, board not updating but enjoyed it. Anna Rudolf was quite demure, pondering if Yasser was Yasser or slightly seedy and patronising. Yes, he is a GM and she an IM. But enjoyed it and how before the middle game, the pieces were practically in classical chess development.
We must play this, I rate my chances as better out of book.
This round the corner from the venue: https://chessfestival.co.uk/
Oooh chess festival looks interesting! I was actually in a lift with Ginger GM Simon Williams (top bloke) at London Chess.
Yeah, we must have a game of 960. I have had a few games and lost most of them thus far. I have a fairly relaxed life these days so can fit in a game anytime you fancy really. Check out the castling rules - that's a bit weird.
That link was maybe not the best. The whole match - which was over 2 days I think is available somewhere. There was some classic games. Real tactical masterpieces. I like Anna R but she does tend to rattle on a bit about some social media frivolity in the middle of some complicated tactical shit.
